Democrats' firearms ban will remain in effect for the time being, pending a federal appeals court's consideration of full arguments regarding a recent lower court decision that declared the ban unconstitutional.

The appeals court has decided to maintain Illinois' assault weapons ban while it reviews the case further. This decision comes as part of an ongoing legal process examining the constitutionality of the firearms legislation.

The outcome of this case could have significant implications for gun control laws in Illinois and potentially beyond, depending on how higher courts rule on this contentious issue.
